What: ESC (Endangered Species Coalition) is offering a free interactive art workshop by Florida Hall of Fame artist Xavier Cortada. The virtual session, for youth grades 6 and up, and for educators will focus on transforming public spaces into platforms for community engagement and environmental education. In this engaging session, artist Xavier Cortada will share his journey, highlight his large-scale projects, and discuss the vital role of socially engaged art in conservation.

Students will explore how interactive public art can help protect endangered species and they will take part in "Letters to the Future," a creative project that blends personal storytelling with visual art to inspire environmental action. They will be invited to incorporate their letters into artworks reflecting their hopes and commitments to wildlife protection, with the opportunity to submit their pieces to the Collaborating for Biodiversity initiative. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a meaningful conversation and the creative movement for conservation!

Please be sure to have pencil and paper handy so you can participate in the interactive workshop elements.
